Installation Tips and Maintenance
Replacing wheel bearings restores vehicle safety and fuel efficiency. PAROD's bolt-on design means most jobs take under an hour per side with basic tools: jack, torque wrench, and hub puller. Always torque to spec (typically 100-150 ft-lbs) and bed in new bearings with a test drive. Regular inspections in our broader Bearings & Seals section can prevent premature failures from uneven tire wear or misalignment.
